This is probably something for the MB1 thread but does anybody have any information at all when these will be released next. I emailed the works today but no reply yet. I've had my name on the waiting list for about 6 years now and finally am in the position to put a deposit down so i'm hoping its soon!

If Ross0203 knows, we would be the first to know.

But I think he knows as much as we do.

"RIP Glitterati, the guitar that brought us great hits like Stockholm Syndrome, New Born, and Uprising. We will miss your sound, your oh so smexy finish, and your amazing ability to cause Dominic Howard such trouble. You were a true fighter, triumphing over opponents such as drumkits, amplifiers and the aforementioned H...oward's forehead, and it took a thirty foot fall from a tower to finally end you. Though your body may be broken, and your sparkles left to die, you will never be forgotten. May your replacement uphold your legacy, and your sound be forever remembered."

So Tim Stark posted this yesterday and I've been wondering if I should opt for the killbutton for the black out effect on my stealth MA. I didn't care for it at all on my MBC-1 and actually fitted the toggle to it. ...but the upper horn on the MA is smaller so it may not annoy me as much?

I know that James has had the button on his last few. Anybody have any thoughts? I guess I could always just fit the toggle myself down the road if it bugged me that much.

Think I saw something like that about his Wolfgang. My old guitar teacher has one and it's quite nice to play, but that might be more to do with the floyd rose & EVH mojo.

I missed it too. But I paid my respects when I saw the corpse that time. #grim

I can't find the interview which had that quote, but it had to have been from 2000 or so. Apparently the only guitar that he regretted breaking was the yellow LP DC, but even then, that happened by accident. Why can't Gibson design a headstock as well as Bs can?

I agree that if you use it a lot or you're heavy handed the switches won't last. The mechanism just isn't robust enough.

It's a matter of metal fatigue I guess, I don't think there's any way around it.

Gibson's headstock design is mental, there's so little wood around the truss rod adjuster it's almost guaranteed to fail. And yet they keep banging them out, and people keep lapping them up because they're 'vintage correct'

Last I heard from Adrian was a few months ago and he said they're aiming to start the next run "around september." He also mentioned before that the first 20 to be emailed will have a week to reply and put down their deposit. I think before it was a first come first serve basis which seemed so unfair for the people that were on the list for so long.

I reckon we'll see the run announced soon after the SDL run is finished. I imagine they would have finished the 2016/17 MB-1s spec by now, I'm hoping carbon finishing is on the agenda... I suggested it at the guitar show and they had that idea floating about for a while

Also, the MB-1s is no longer on the Guitar Works' website

Thanks for the info bud, i've seen a few of your posts around and it seems we've both been waiting a long while for these to come along!

I've had my name on the list for years now and finally got an email on the last run which i think was 2014 (?) when they first fit the single coil sustainer, i didn't have enough for a deposit at the time so was upset to miss out but i was worried that i wouldn't get an email again as they would remove my name from the list. Does that happen or will i still be in line for the next one do you know?

Since we're in the same boat i'd really appreciate any info you find out when you get it please! Here's to us both securing one on the next run
